Where Martinez does end ♊up remains unknown. But speaking on Sky Sports today, spoke of how United’s relationship with Ajax stands them in ‘good stead’, before admitting th𓂃at Arsenal are still in the mix, albeit below the current asking price.

“It’s not surprise Ten Hag is going for players that he knows and trusts, simply because he has a philosophy and way of playing. Arsenal, though, it should be said, are still interested in Martinez but they haven’t met the asking price either,” She😼th said on today.

Despite signing Gabriel Jesus today, Martinez has been deemed as a ‘priority‘ signing for Mikel Arteta this summer. It remains to ♊be seen, though, if the Gunners can pull another one out of the bag.

United fans will be hoping they finally land a player. Arsenal f༺ans, meanwhile, will be relaxed knowing they’ve done so well already this summer.
